6-figures on strike?

Well, my home state never fails to disappoint when it comes to headlines.

A group of Bay Area nurses are striking because their hospital network needs to reduce their benefits to pay for some of Obamacare's new costs. However:


Oakland Tribune:
Sutter nurses earn as much as $138,000 on average, but the highest paid can make as much as $291,000, according to the hospital's figures.

Nurses are pretty hard to rail against, but 138k on average? And they are striking? If this is acceptable, the guys who got 0 bonus at Jefferies should be forming a mob about now.

Is striking at this salary level remotely acceptable? What does this say about CA's labor market?

 

Imagined bankers did this? Media wouldn't shut up for another year. I think they have the right to protest for whatever they believe. In this case, it sounds like their contract is being changed, which is a good reason to protest. I would protest even if i earned a million but was treated unfairly. I don't know the details in this case but i don't think there is anything wrong with protesting.

Do what you want not what you can!
 

screw banking, being a nurse in CA is where it's at!
